Abstract
An image processing system configured to obtain a mesh representation of a scene, wherein the mesh representation comprises a plurality of polygons defined by respective vertices associated with an in-plane position, the in-plane position being in a plane comprising a first dimension and a second dimension, and the vertices having an associated vertex depth value in a third dimension different from the first dimension and the second dimension. The image processing system comprises an in-plane position estimation network configured to process image data representative of an image of the scene to estimate the in-plane positions associated with respective vertices of the mesh representation. The image processing system further comprises a depth estimation engine configured to process the in-plane positions and the image data to estimate the associated vertex depth values for the respective vertices of the mesh representation.
